I am back. Funny thing. Watched "The Last Mimzy" on Saturday with the Lad and his friend. It was actually not a bad film. I am not sure about the why this occurred or that. Near as I can tell, the assumption was that "Through the Looking Glass" was actually non-fiction but not recognized as such. Anyway, it has Rainn Wilson (Dwight from "The Office") in it. He is a teacher, named Larry, who has been having these vivid dreams. His wife is in to Tibetan mysticism and sees the signs.
In one of his dreams, which he does not really believe, he sees the kids he supposed to save. Anyway, as he finds the kids and questions them, his wife says, "Can't you see the universe it talking you. You are at one with the universe, Larry". (or something to that effect).
I was struck by that one. It is the cynic in my talking here, but I have to wonder about a universe where somebody with a common name is at one with it. Hey, did you hear? Gus is at one with the universe. The universe is talking to Bob. Larry can see the future.
It just does not work for me. It makes it all homey and safe, but it does not sound regal or important enough. Then again, I am at one with the universe and I have a common name. I guess, I should give up on all those, obviously wasted, years of cynicism and accept that Larry or David is at one with the universe and that it talks to and through us all. There is the spiritual thought for the day.
Ciao!
